Cage freewheels BWX are sprag freewheels to be installed between customer-supplied inner and outer rings. Disengaging: When the outer ring is rotating the centrifugal force causes the sprags to lift off from the inner race. This reduces wear during freewheeling operation. Engaging: When the outer ring is rotating the centrifugal force presses the sprags against the inner ring. This enhances the ability of the sprags to engage immediately when torque is applied. Drag strips: To reduce wear during freewheeling operation between sprags and the inner race, drag strips made from wear-resistant beryllium copper alloy are attached to the inner cage. This results in increased friction between inner cage and inner race. This counteracts individual sprag activation during freewheeling operation, thereby greatly reducing sprag pressure on the inner race. Brake clips Some freewheel sizes are available with brake clips fitted on the outer cage to prevent further automatic rotation of the Cage Freewheel during rapid acceleration and deceleration of the outer ring (e.g. in indexing freewheels).
